Chapter 107: " My subordinate." (1/2)

After they walked a bit, they saw a few middle-aged men standing there. They are the examiners who came out of their monitoring station after they saw Sam and his teammates coming.

At the lead of the group, the marquis and the principal are standing as they looked at them.

”Congratulations.” Marquis was the first one to open his mouth. But he didn't see any happy expressions on the candidate's faces. And he knew the reason.

”For what? Not dying for your tricks?” Sam replied with a complete hostile tone. But the tone just didn't display his hostility, it also displayed his arrogance to speak to the Marquis who is far stronger than him.

Marquis didn't know what to say about that.

”It is not good to talk like that, young man. You might be a genius. But it is always better to be humble when speaking to others. Your arrogant attitude wouldn't be taken lightly by others.” Principal said with a tone as if he is teaching his student.

But Sam didn��t really like it. Because, he is angry and frustrated. If not for the fact that his cultivation is low, he might have even attacked the marquis as soon as he came out.

After all, it is not a pleasant experience to be toyed by others in such harsh conditions without any prior warning or information. They brought all of them for learning and were forced to endure this.

”Who are you to teach me?” Sam asked directly. The principal frowned but still said in a majestic tone.

”I am the principal of this academy and since you are a student of the special branch, I have every right to teach you.” He wanted to put Sam in his place and even raised his aura.

But what Sam asked next made him stupefied.

”Well, I am really surprised by his teaching methods. But I am just wondering what you want to teach them by killing more than half of your students?” Sam said that as he pointed at the special zone.

Principal wasn't able to say anything about it. He didn't have any reply to that. Even though, he did have orders from higher authorities, all this time he just thought about it as his duty to follow the orders as he saw the suffering of the candidates, but when Sam questioned him and he thought from his professional perspective as a teacher. He felt ashamed.

”As for me being arrogant. I am just being bold and honest now. If I was to act arrogant, both of you aren't even capable of taking it.” He said his piece and walked off. But after he took a few steps, Marquis called him from the back.

”Sam, about the next stage..” Before he could finish sentence, Sam stopped him.

”I quit.”

”You don't have that choice Sam. From the minute you came out of this, you don't have a choice, you should have quit when you are inside. Now, you already riding on a tiger, you should either go through it or you have to bear the consequences.

Trust me, the consequences are too hard for you to bear and even Chaya and background can't save you.”

Sam turned around and looked at the marquis, who is hesitating.

Actually, Sam doesn't want to quit, he wants to see through why the emperor is doing this. What is the result that he is expecting? Because, Sam know one thing, if the further tests are like this, the person who finally survived all of them and get past this, will not be a normal person.

He or she will be having a drastic psychological change. The final result would be a highly sensitive, ruthless, merciless monster. The person will lose his humanity bit by bit.

And the person if further nurtured in a same way, he or she would be a walking disaster. That is why he is making these statements to guilt trip the Marquis to fish some information.

Finally, marquis opened his mouth.

”I can't tell you the details. But from now on, we are only the examiners and not the people in charge of tests. If you quit now, you will have to spend your youth on run and that is if you don't get killed.”

Sam thought for a bit and agreed as he understood that he wouldn't get more info. Then the marquis said.

”You have two days to relax and you have to gather at the Marquis manner the third day at dawn.”

Sam nodded and started walking along with his teammates. But marquis called again.

”What?” Sam asked as he looked a bit annoyed.

Marquis slowly pointed at the ape. Sam gave a questioning look and soon the answer came.

”Can you leave him here?” Sam didn't answer but just looked at him. Marquis cleared his throat and said.

”I got all three of them when they are infants and it took a lot of effort. They are being groomed as the guardian beasts of the city. So, can you leave him here please?”

Sam was a bit surprised when he heard this. Then his surprise turned into delight. He really felt sad when he found out that this beast is not a pet of anyone as he wanted to make them feel loss.

But now, he is even more happy. Because, if these beasts are really being groomed as the guardian beasts, then their status is same as the young masters of the Marquis house.

That is the reason they are not tamed as pets. Because, they will remain as the guardian beasts of the city as long as they are alive irrespective of how many marquises are retired.

So, if they became pets of a marquis and get attached to that person, the next marquis will have a hard time to get their acknowledgement.
